RE: Downvotes aren't so bad

But unfortunately they look to be part of the status quo. If this sort of attitude continues maybe we may have a fork of Hive as well.

The blockchain is an open-source technology. In theory, anyone with the right knowledge could make a fork.

The hard part is to earn the trust not only of users or the community, but of applications, exchanges, and more. As I mentioned in the post, a lot of factors have to be present for a project like this to be successful.

Look at blurt, they forked from Steem and removed the downvotes as well as other things, but they have not yet grown enough. They are only in one exchange, and the value of the coin is very low in comparison.

Maybe we would get to a point where the fork is inevitable, maybe we can fix most of the problems we have, or maybe we won't be able to do either of them. Time will tell.
